MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree

Jedes Modul umfasst 3 ECTS. Sie wählen insgesamt 10 Module/30 ECTS in den folgenden Modulkategorien:

  • ​​​​12-15 ECTS in Technisch-wissenschaftlichen Modulen (TSM)
    TSM-Module vermitteln Ihnen profilspezifische Fachkompetenz und ergänzen die dezentralen Vertiefungsmodule.
  • 9-12 ECTS in Erweiterten theoretischen Grundlagen (FTP)
    FTP-Module behandeln theoretische Grundlagen wie die höhere Mathematik, Physik, Informationstheorie, Chemie usw. Sie erweitern Ihre abstrakte, wissenschaftliche Tiefe und tragen dazu bei, den für die Innovation wichtigen Bogen zwischen Abstraktion und Anwendung spannen zu können.
  • 6-9 ECTS in Kontextmodulen (CM)
    CM-Module vermitteln Ihnen Zusatzkompetenzen aus Bereichen wie Technologiemanagement, Betriebswirtschaft, Kommunikation, Projektmanagement, Patentrecht, Vertragsrecht usw.

Wireless Communications (TSM_WireCom)

The module starts with the basics of the Physical and Data Link layers of advanced wireless systems.

Then the students will be exposed to the definition or functioning of a selection of the most important wireless standards at the present time. The focus will be on the physical layer and the medium-access layer.

Exercises will be used throughout the course to exemplify the use and application of the learnt material to compare the existing standards for a given problem in the context of the merits and limitations of each technology.

Eintrittskompetenzen

The students are expected to have knowledge on the basic modulation schemes including amplitude, frequency and phase.

They must also have studied the fundamentals of coding techniques.
Other required competences that may be acquired through personal work are statistics, probabilities, wave theory, Fourier analysis and the OSI reference model.

Lernziele

The student will be able to

  • discriminate between the various advanced modulation, coding and transmission concepts and explain their benefits and limitations
  • explain the key characteristics of a selection of the most important wireless standards at the present time in regards to the Physical and Data Link layers
  • find specific information in the standardisation documents

select the most suitable wireless technology for a practical problem.

Modulkategorie
